It looks like a factory, a very dirty one. Isn't it sickening that while all our products today are produced in hightech clean factories. But these living creatures are still looked after like they are trash
Actually, you're more likely to get a food-borne illness from produce than you are from animal products. Think of it like this - yes, those animals are covered in mud and dirt, but the product that we consume (namely meat) is never exposed to any outside environment until after the animal has been slaughtered, which takes place in a separate and very clean facility. As opposed to plants, which are exposed to outside elements the duration of their growth until harvest.
And to be clear I'm not like siding with big corporations or anything, that's just the factual matter of the situation! Just because the actual process of slaughtering and harvesting the product is very sanitary doesn't mean in any way that the animal's life up until that point has been cruelty-free!
@@ChillDoge-w7p they are eating an abused animal who was wrongfully killed in a horrible and disgusting manner. The least you can do if you don't to let go your precious meat is to buy locally or just eat less in general.

I worked at a sausage factory. Pigs came in with abscesses the size of basketballs, hooves six inches long curled in every direction, nightmare prolapsed rectums. The boars had never been together before and would rake huge gashes with their tusks into each other, some do not making the ride, pulled out with chains straight to a dumpster half torn apart.
Worked at a slaughterhouse when I was younger. Family kind of place. We did smaller orders. One family brought the couple beef and couple pigs in. During the processing... the pigs were FULL of abscesses. Looked closer and every abscess had a BB pellet in it. They had a semi-special teenage son that has been shooting these pigs their entire lives. It was a tough situation. What do I do? Should I report them and have their special needs son brought to charges? Well... I thought about it and the other employees wanted to keep things quiet. I couldn’t do that. I did contact our country officials and had them meet me. I explained the situation and they went to the parents and had a talk with them. They had no idea the son was doing that and the son wasn’t officially charged/prosecuted but the parents volunteered to hand over the two BB guns/pellet rifle the son had. So... hopefully that brought an end to his reign of terror. Animals deserve the same respect that we give to other humans... well... what we SHOULD give to other humans. PS... we noticed the abscesses when we began to process but didn’t notice the BBS and pellets until we began making sausage. They quickly stuffed up the sausage grinder and then we started looking at the rest of the pig(s). Just full of BBS and pellets. So sad 😔
@@fluuufffffy1514 well... we trimmed for a LONG time and salvaged as much as possible but most of the BBS had pockets of infected puss like stuff around them and the pockets were each about the size of a ping pong ball. So... a lot was wasted but we were able to save a good bit though.

There’s also no cholesterol in plant foods and plant-based diets are nutritionally adequate at all stages of life. That’s what I get off the top of my head, but it’s still quite informative!
this is why i try to encourage going vegetarian or (even better) vegan. animals weren’t meant to live this way. please make a conscious effort to reduce meat & dairy intake yall. i’m begging 🙏 edit: yes, plants have feelings & experience pain as well. but they don’t experience the same pain & emotion that animals do. it’s way more ethical to eat plants than animals, either way. so please stop commenting THAT. secondly, meat isn’t the only form of protein. you guys just want to make excuses for not wanting to change your lifestyle. i’m not trying to shame you if you eat meat, but don’t made excuses like “we need protein!!” when there are so many alternatives to getting protein. wish i could disable replies because clearly, a lot of you know nothing about being vegetarian or vegan.
Bring vegetarian is still as bad as being a meat eater. The cows in the dairy industry, chickens in the egg industry and bees in the honey industry are still being abused and killed for the demand of their secretions. People have to go vegan.
If you’re argument for veganism is wool you clearly haven’t seen a sheep in a while. Animals weren’t meant to live like this. But they were bred for this. Every ‘farm’ animal is a gmo. Modified by us over years of selective breeding for desirable traits. It’s like chickens. We literally bred the instinct out of them. Now that people want grass range chickens. They took them all and let them outside. Birds of prey just swooped down and took them sometimes two birds at a time. Honestly we can’t save these animals even if we let them go. They have no instinct to survive. Read about it’s. It’s horrific. Also. Plants are now aware of pain too... so... there’s that.
@@MsPuffykinz here's an idea, since you care so much about inbred chickens getting eaten by the wild. Why not just stop breeding the chickens? Just let the wild eat what's left or let people eat what's remaining but no more breeding chickens for food and end the cycle right there. Reasonable right? Also plants don't feel pain in the conventional sense, they feel sensations. It's like a lizard when it loses its tail, it doesn't feel the pain of losing a tail but is aware of the lost tail.
So this is why hamburger meat, chickens, eggs and dairy products are so cheap... this is going to be very hard for people that have been raised on these products to switch to being a vegetarian or verify their animal products don't come from these so called farms.
One sad truth I'd that besides all that 2019 brought, it was the year where officially more animals lived in captivation than free on our planet. For the first time in history domesticated animals outweigh the natural livestock....
This is going to breed a superbug that will be antibiotic resistant. If possible, buy local or source yourself. Every step you take is a small victory against these corporations!
This is why it's a good idea to generally reduce your meat consumption, and use the money you saved to buy quality meat when you do eat it. Dairy is harder and pretty iffy.
After all, a bottom line is the only line that matters if money is the only value (which it is once you get hoarded/rich enough) that's why there need to be better stay structures to set up fair taxing and "passive wealth" caps.

@@joypomeroy1452 While all that is true, we, the consumers can't deny our part in this. Yes, we're not the ones mistreating the animals. Yes, politicians should enforce better regulations etc. But so long as people keep buying, those corporations have a reason to keep going like that, to lobby, to find and massively exploit legal and illegal loopholes, to move production into countries with weak regulations etc. We give them the money that is the source of their power. The only real way to make absolutely sure that this doesn't continue is to stop consuming the products. Without our money these corporations are powerless. It's as simple as that.
@@augustaseptemberova5664 Yes, we buy from them but honestly some don't have a choice. It's a cheaper option. When one is living paycheck to paycheck or worse off they can't choose better. No, it's the corporations who are supposed to be held accountable. Not consumers.
@@Cand0212 I totally agree that many people don't have a choice than buy cheap products, particularly low-income families with growing children. But if these groups were the only ones buying cheap animal products, there'd be no necessity for industrial farming on the scale shown in the video. Meat once a week would fully suffice. But how many people with average or above income do you know, who consume way more than that? Also consider, if it's realistically possible to supply the amounts of meat, eggs and dairy we currently consume via ethical farming .. how much farm space would be required, how many ecosystems would have to be reduced in size to make space for grasslands etc. How much methane would be released as a result of animals feeding on low-energy grass they need to ferment (methane being a by-product of this), as opposed to high-energy fodder (soy, maize etc.) that requires less/shorter fermentation in the animals' digestive systems. Also consider, that if ethical farming was cheaper than factory farming, the corporations would already do that. Meaning: ethical farming will make meat more expensive, which will go largely at the expense of people with low income. They are gonna suffer no matter what, unfortunately. If consumption drops, meat etc. will become more expensive. If the production is made ethical, meat etc. will become more expensive. The solution here is to make sure they have more money, for instance, by increasing minimum wages. No matter how you spin it. If we continue to consume these excessive and also unhealthy amounts of animal products that we consume today, and with a growing world population, there is no way the supply could be ethically farmed .. because destroying nature to make space for good animal farming still is unethical.
@@augustaseptemberova5664 no, if companies are forced to make their products more ethically, that doesn't mean the prices will automatically go up. This has been demonstrated multiple times. At this point, you're sealioning.

Reducing the amount of meat you buy helps a lot. You don't have to go full vegan to help. Replacing one meal a day with something vegan or vegetarian helps more than you think. It's all about demand.
We all can! Start by not buying it from grocery stores and sourcing from a local farm in your area instead. Reducing the amount of meat you eat helps a lot too. What they’re doing to these poor animals is akin to puppy mills. Not exactly what I’d call a sustainable system

Let's not exploit or kill animals, humans don't have to do this at all. Each vegan saves about 200 animals a year. Go vegan. Be a part of the solution, not the problem. ❤️
That’s cute. Each vegan does not save 200 animals a year. More likely they are wasted. The vegan movement isn’t nearly big enough to cause these business giants to cut down on anything. It’s just more food they throw away and more clothes they give to poor nations because they’re ‘out of style’. Being Vegan helps you and only you. But unless you’re personally buying the animals and setting them free. This 200 number is at best a prayer and a dream. If anything Vegetarianism’s major growth is doing more. To sway company to lean to ‘better environments.’ For these animals. Big business doesn’t give a shot either way. Unless it’s a systematic change through federal laws. One little pocket of people abiding by their own homestead ain’t enough. I went to college for this. Ffs. It’s why I dropped out of urban agriculture and went into floral design. At least with flowers I can make people’s days happy or more bearable in a funerals case. If you truly truly truly want to make a difference for animals. Help people. People with more money can make more decisions in their lives. They can choose to eat whole grain. They can buy their fish from a reputable market and even their eggs from a hobbiest. But they can’t now. They buy used wool sweaters from goodwill and eat McDonald’s because that’s all they can live on. People are the problem. But people are the solution. It’s just two different groups. Pick one.

why not turn vegan? :) Part of what was shown was for egg and milk production. Don't let animals suffer just for the pleasure of eating/drinking certain stuff
@@Loren1389 I only buy oat milk and vegan cheeses, but ill drink milk or have dairy products if someone bakes them for me or if there are no non dairy options. When it comes to eggs, I pay extra for free ranged eggs. I also plan on raising chickens of my own for the eggs. I know it's not perfect, but I am pretty much removed from the supply and demand that is driving cruel practices. You can still use animal products without cruel practices. Take honey for instance, the bees love making honey. You can help them produce more than they need and take the extra. No harm is done. Same with eggs. The chicken will produce the eggs naturally. It can go to waste or be taken for consumption. No animal suffers. Same with milk. You can have a perfectly healthy cow and not milking it can cause problems, so we can take the excess without harm. So in an ideal world we can still have animal products, we just have to get the mainstream to take it serious and choose non cruelty over all else.
Good work! Revealing this is a start . But when they’re making that kind of money, what will it matter in the end? So they get fined and maybe make a few reforms if pressured enough. They get away with it because they can and they have been .

I have two chickens that are free to walk wherever they want in my garden. They are so cute, they come when I call them, they like to take naps at my window, they follow me when I'm at the garden. I never thought that having chicken as pets would make me so happy. And of course, I love their eggs.
I don't think I exploit my chickens. I provide them a safety environment where they can live happy, they have plenty of space to explore ( I dont keep them in an enclosure, they can go wherever they want in my garden, eat grass and earthworns) food and shelter. They provide me company and eggs. It's called symbiosis. We both take a benefit, it's a healthy relationship between animals (I count myself as an animal), like many we can find in the nature. The day they will no longer produce eggs, they will stay with me. Should I throw the eggs into the garbage bin so I don't exploit them? Anyway, they are free to leave if they are not happy, but I know they enjoy my company too because they try all the time to enter into my house 😂 (They are so curious 😅) Finally, my chickens come from a farm, and they were going to be sacrificed. Now they can have a good life instead.
I'm a 68 year old lifetime farmer. Although now and for the past 15 years I only raise grain crops. However for many years I was a dairy farmer, and also raised hogs and chickens. And I'm seriously thinking of becoming a vegetarian, because I know from years of personal experience that all farm animals are a lot smarter and perceptive than we ever imagined. I live in rural Nebraska, and in the last 20 years these huge factory farms have been springing up all over the rural parts of the state. They are causing massive water and air pollution problems. Most of them are owned by big corporations and investors (many of them prominent politicians in the state). They practically control the state and local governments. In this case of county governments, they work to get people elected who will change zoning laws and reduce local regulations on these operations. (One of the big things out here is getting rural county Boards of Supervisors to declare their counties "livestock friendly"). They move into these rural areas where there are no jobs, and offer cheap wages and horrible working conditions. And as to this guy using a drone---they REALLY freak out over that! The CAFO owners are vigorously lobbying the Nebraska Legislature to pass "No Drone" laws. Ok---but if you aren't doing anything wrong, than why do you have to be afraid of a drone flying over your operation, I say?

Just FYI, vegans & vegetarians have gotten a bad rap in recent years because of the actions of the few extremists. There IS a “happy medium”. I live in a tiny, non-agri-town in the Poconos, where REAL farms still exist and thrive. While I am primarily a vegetarian, AND am low income, I have been able to eat healthy, locally grown & produced veggies, eggs and occasionally local meat. I’m legally blind and don’t even drive; so, if I can do it, so can others! It just takes some research on what’s available locally-you will likely be VERY surprised, I know I was.

I actually got the names & numbers of some local farms, explained my situation, and for either free or $5 or less, they drop off a small bag or box of veggies on their way to a local farmers market each week. Another farm that has pigs and chickens, drops off some fresh meat every few months. They even offered me organ meat for my kitty…but the spoiled lil brat won’t touch it! 😸 YES it takes a few phone calls and/or emails; but there ARE still SOME decent people left that are willing to help out.

It looks like a factory, a very dirty one. Isn't it sickening that while all our products today are produced in hightech clean factories. But these living creatures are still looked after like they are trash
Actually, you're more likely to get a food-borne illness from produce than you are from animal products. Think of it like this - yes, those animals are covered in mud and dirt, but the product that we consume (namely meat) is never exposed to any outside environment until after the animal has been slaughtered, which takes place in a separate and very clean facility. As opposed to plants, which are exposed to outside elements the duration of their growth until harvest.
And to be clear I'm not like siding with big corporations or anything, that's just the factual matter of the situation! Just because the actual process of slaughtering and harvesting the product is very sanitary doesn't mean in any way that the animal's life up until that point has been cruelty-free!
This is what Agenda 2030 means when they say the SDG sustainable farming.

I worked at a sausage factory. Pigs came in with abscesses the size of basketballs, hooves six inches long curled in every direction, nightmare prolapsed rectums. The boars had never been together before and would rake huge gashes with their tusks into each other, some do not making the ride, pulled out with chains straight to a dumpster half torn apart.
Worked at a slaughterhouse when I was younger. Family kind of place. We did smaller orders. One family brought the couple beef and couple pigs in. During the processing... the pigs were FULL of abscesses. Looked closer and every abscess had a BB pellet in it. They had a semi-special teenage son that has been shooting these pigs their entire lives. It was a tough situation. What do I do? Should I report them and have their special needs son brought to charges? Well... I thought about it and the other employees wanted to keep things quiet. I couldn’t do that. I did contact our country officials and had them meet me. I explained the situation and they went to the parents and had a talk with them. They had no idea the son was doing that and the son wasn’t officially charged/prosecuted but the parents volunteered to hand over the two BB guns/pellet rifle the son had. So... hopefully that brought an end to his reign of terror. Animals deserve the same respect that we give to other humans... well... what we SHOULD give to other humans. PS... we noticed the abscesses when we began to process but didn’t notice the BBS and pellets until we began making sausage. They quickly stuffed up the sausage grinder and then we started looking at the rest of the pig(s). Just full of BBS and pellets. So sad 😔

this is why i try to encourage going vegetarian or (even better) vegan. animals weren’t meant to live this way. please make a conscious effort to reduce meat & dairy intake yall. i’m begging 🙏
edit: yes, plants have feelings & experience pain as well. but they don’t experience the same pain & emotion that animals do. it’s way more ethical to eat plants than animals, either way. so please stop commenting THAT. secondly, meat isn’t the only form of protein. you guys just want to make excuses for not wanting to change your lifestyle. i’m not trying to shame you if you eat meat, but don’t made excuses like “we need protein!!” when there are so many alternatives to getting protein. wish i could disable replies because clearly, a lot of you know nothing about being vegetarian or vegan.
why not we advocate for better conditions and for all our meat and other animal products to come from ranches and family owned farms instead?
Bring vegetarian is still as bad as being a meat eater. The cows in the dairy industry, chickens in the egg industry and bees in the honey industry are still being abused and killed for the demand of their secretions. People have to go vegan.
If you’re argument for veganism is wool you clearly haven’t seen a sheep in a while.
Animals weren’t meant to live like this. But they were bred for this. Every ‘farm’ animal is a gmo. Modified by us over years of selective breeding for desirable traits.
It’s like chickens. We literally bred the instinct out of them. Now that people want grass range chickens. They took them all and let them outside.
Birds of prey just swooped down and took them sometimes two birds at a time.
Honestly we can’t save these animals even if we let them go. They have no instinct to survive. Read about it’s. It’s horrific.
Also. Plants are now aware of pain too... so... there’s that.
@@MsPuffykinz here's an idea, since you care so much about inbred chickens getting eaten by the wild. Why not just stop breeding the chickens? Just let the wild eat what's left or let people eat what's remaining but no more breeding chickens for food and end the cycle right there. Reasonable right?
Also plants don't feel pain in the conventional sense, they feel sensations. It's like a lizard when it loses its tail, it doesn't feel the pain of losing a tail but is aware of the lost tail.
@@forteusvaldez4647 Because animals in those conditions are also killed unnecessarily for meat.

The only real way to make absolutely sure that this doesn't continue is to stop consuming the products. Without our money these corporations are powerless. It's as simple as that.
@@augustaseptemberova5664 Yes, we buy from them but honestly some don't have a choice. It's a cheaper option. When one is living paycheck to paycheck or worse off they can't choose better. No, it's the corporations who are supposed to be held accountable. Not consumers.
@@Cand0212 I totally agree that many people don't have a choice than buy cheap products, particularly low-income families with growing children. But if these groups were the only ones buying cheap animal products, there'd be no necessity for industrial farming on the scale shown in the video. Meat once a week would fully suffice. But how many people with average or above income do you know, who consume way more than that?
Also consider, if it's realistically possible to supply the amounts of meat, eggs and dairy we currently consume via ethical farming .. how much farm space would be required, how many ecosystems would have to be reduced in size to make space for grasslands etc. How much methane would be released as a result of animals feeding on low-energy grass they need to ferment (methane being a by-product of this), as opposed to high-energy fodder (soy, maize etc.) that requires less/shorter fermentation in the animals' digestive systems.
Also consider, that if ethical farming was cheaper than factory farming, the corporations would already do that. Meaning: ethical farming will make meat more expensive, which will go largely at the expense of people with low income. They are gonna suffer no matter what, unfortunately. If consumption drops, meat etc. will become more expensive. If the production is made ethical, meat etc. will become more expensive. The solution here is to make sure they have more money, for instance, by increasing minimum wages.
No matter how you spin it. If we continue to consume these excessive and also unhealthy amounts of animal products that we consume today, and with a growing world population, there is no way the supply could be ethically farmed .. because destroying nature to make space for good animal farming still is unethical.
@@augustaseptemberova5664 no, if companies are forced to make their products more ethically, that doesn't mean the prices will automatically go up. This has been demonstrated multiple times. At this point, you're sealioning.

Being Vegan helps you and only you. But unless you’re personally buying the animals and setting them free. This 200 number is at best a prayer and a dream.
If anything Vegetarianism’s major growth is doing more. To sway company to lean to ‘better environments.’ For these animals.

@@Loren1389 I only buy oat milk and vegan cheeses, but ill drink milk or have dairy products if someone bakes them for me or if there are no non dairy options. When it comes to eggs, I pay extra for free ranged eggs. I also plan on raising chickens of my own for the eggs. I know it's not perfect, but I am pretty much removed from the supply and demand that is driving cruel practices. You can still use animal products without cruel practices. Take honey for instance, the bees love making honey. You can help them produce more than they need and take the extra. No harm is done. Same with eggs. The chicken will produce the eggs naturally. It can go to waste or be taken for consumption. No animal suffers. Same with milk. You can have a perfectly healthy cow and not milking it can cause problems, so we can take the excess without harm. So in an ideal world we can still have animal products, we just have to get the mainstream to take it serious and choose non cruelty over all else.

I have two chickens that are free to walk wherever they want in my garden. They are so cute, they come when I call them, they like to take naps at my window, they follow me when I'm at the garden. I never thought that having chicken as pets would make me so happy. And of course, I love their eggs.
The fishing industry is just as bad. Watch Seaspiracy on Netflix :/
Still exploitation but whatever...
Or how about just don’t exploit chickens reproductive systems at all? And why does your compassion stop at sea animals?
I don't think I exploit my chickens. I provide them a safety environment where they can live happy, they have plenty of space to explore ( I dont keep them in an enclosure, they can go wherever they want in my garden, eat grass and earthworns) food and shelter. They provide me company and eggs. It's called symbiosis. We both take a benefit, it's a healthy relationship between animals (I count myself as an animal), like many we can find in the nature.
The day they will no longer produce eggs, they will stay with me. Should I throw the eggs into the garbage bin so I don't exploit them?
Anyway, they are free to leave if they are not happy, but I know they enjoy my company too because they try all the time to enter into my house 😂 (They are so curious 😅)
Finally, my chickens come from a farm, and they were going to be sacrificed. Now they can have a good life instead.
We should stop this not stop farming. not all farms are like this. This is not the normal way to get healthy food. Real farmers know this.
And that’s why I eat only locally sourced meat..
Every farm is local to someone. Buying locally doesn’t change the fact that the animal suffered and was killed.

I'm a 68 year old lifetime farmer. Although now and for the past 15 years I only raise grain crops. However for many years I was a dairy farmer, and also raised hogs and chickens. And I'm seriously thinking of becoming a vegetarian, because I know from years of personal experience that all farm animals are a lot smarter and perceptive than we ever imagined. I live in rural Nebraska, and in the last 20 years these huge factory farms have been springing up all over the rural parts of the state. They are causing massive water and air pollution problems. Most of them are owned by big corporations and investors (many of them prominent politicians in the state). They practically control the state and local governments. In this case of county governments, they work to get people elected who will change zoning laws and reduce local regulations on these operations. (One of the big things out here is getting rural county Boards of Supervisors to declare their counties "livestock friendly"). They move into these rural areas where there are no jobs, and offer cheap wages and horrible working conditions. And as to this guy using a drone---they REALLY freak out over that! The CAFO owners are vigorously lobbying the Nebraska Legislature to pass "No Drone" laws. Ok---but if you aren't doing anything wrong, than why do you have to be afraid of a drone flying over your operation, I say?

How about by billions of humans choosing to either reduce their meat consumption or by just going vegetarian or vegan? It's not that hard. If I did it, so can you
@@nicebars A small number of people is not the same as the entire population of the world doing it. Working my job without the muscle gains that meat provides is a recipe for disaster. You vegans are hilarious because you live in a bubble of nonreality. We humans were designed to eat meat.
@@quazimortal I'm not vegan though, I eat fish currently and I don't demonize eating meat. I think eating less of it is a great (and essential) first step though
We can, but not in this cruel way.
@@xaphiron You're so very naive, you see the industrialization and don't understand how necessary it is.
In before Congress in the US makes a New law to prevent this too...
Because of course they would.
They have did something called Ag-Gag laws to prevent good activists from recording footage like this.
@Some Guy435 private property doesn't include the air above it. The company would be held responsible for destroying property that doesn't belong to them.
@Some Guy435 If I were up to things as heinous as this I guess I’d not want people knowing about it either.
Why is this not getting enough media attention?
Because people don’t like the truth, and they don’t want to feel guilty for what they do
Must be nice to have so much money you can get away with anything...
must be nice that people are willing to give them that money

I wish more ppl would stop eating meat at every meal.
And this is why it’s my 5th year as a vegan. Feel free to try it out, it’s open admission.
This is so important. Most people have no idea what actually happens to animals who are raised for food. People need to see this so that they can make better choices. Spoiler alert: there’s only one. Expose the truth: it will save animal lives, human lives, and Earth.
OMG!! This is ABSOLUTELY horrible!!! My ❤️ goes out to all these poor animals 😢😢😢
In ireland, farmers trest cattle so well. They have spacious sheds jn the winter and are then outside for most if the yesr. No wonder American meat is so low quality
Welcome to capitalism.
@Some Guy435 Are you trying to be funny or is a condition you suffer from?
Poor animals...big shame
Eat cage free and grass fed.
And do your research to make sure those claims aren't just marketing slogans.
This needs to stop now! Usa citizens please stop this! Unite for what's right!
@Some Guy435 go chew on some fruits and vegetables or whatever you’re being too dramatic
Just FYI, vegans & vegetarians have gotten a bad rap in recent years because of the actions of the few extremists. There IS a “happy medium”. I live in a tiny, non-agri-town in the Poconos, where REAL farms still exist and thrive. While I am primarily a vegetarian, AND am low income, I have been able to eat healthy, locally grown & produced veggies, eggs and occasionally local meat. I’m legally blind and don’t even drive; so, if I can do it, so can others! It just takes some research on what’s available locally-you will likely be VERY surprised, I know I was.
I thought factory farms and large agri-business were my only options..I was WRONG! Let’s put these monsters OUT OF BUSINESS! They not only treat their animals like dirt, their largely immigrant, minimum-wage human staff suffered horribly last year during the COVID surges! They need to be completely re-structured or shut down altogether!
exactly. i don’t even have a proper job and live in the lowest of low income housing, yet i’m able to be vegetarian (trying to go vegan). people say it’s “too hard” because they’re too comfortable with their current diet/lifestyle. they don’t want to put in easy work & that’s on them 🤷♀️
@@saffronlafromboise It CAN be done, usually pretty easily. I just wish more people would wake-up and realize the damage-economically, morally, physically & culturally; these greed-driven factory farms are causing…and that WE DO have the power & strength to put them out of business. I actually got the names & numbers of some local farms, explained my situation, and for either free or $5 or less, they drop off a small bag or box of veggies on their way to a local farmers market each week. Another farm that has pigs and chickens, drops off some fresh meat every few months. They even offered me organ meat for my kitty…but the spoiled lil brat won’t touch it! 😸 YES it takes a few phone calls and/or emails; but there ARE still SOME decent people left that are willing to help out. I admit, I also try and tip people or make goodies for those who help out. It’s something I’m more than willing to do in order to avoid supporting monsters like Hormel or Perdue.
i think there is already much evidence told by farmers themselves. they did say in multiple town hall meets that they cannot even speak against companies against them.
lol america is gonna see this and going to implement new drone laws
Exactly and the laws are being drafted right now as I speak.
In my contry the animals really live in the field feeding from real grass. This meat factories do not even exist
Please just go vegan, for the animals, for the planet and if you don't become a fast food vegan who only eats fries it can be really great for your health 💟🌱💟
Veganism causes malnutrition your child will be malformed good job causing your own extinction.
@@alexarabiran9828 not true
@@alexarabiran9828 That's a Lie! Where's your proof because I know people who have been Vegan for decades and they never get sick and they're super healthy!
Buy from local farms!
If the world isn't ready to become Vegan, then cruelty to Animals will never stop. By the way there is no such thing called sustainable farming, other than it is just a fancy word.
First off, not everyone in the world can afford a vegan lifestyle. A lot of people in the world can bearly attain food much less be able to care if it had suffered or not. The farming of these animals is not the problem, but the laws and management that favor money over of the condition of their produce and the protection and integrity of their consumers.
@@shadowofagod896 Media made vegan expensive, vegan at restaurant yes vegan at home is not. When we were growing up having meat is once a week thing or special occasions and that's the way it should be, look what's had happened now. More Fruits and vegetables and less meat, Food Pyramid.
@@Kajendra I agree with you that eating less meat is better for us and the environment. However, completely changing to a vegan diet is not possible for most people, especially for those who live in third world countries where the state of the economy basically determines what we are able to afford to eat. And I don't quite understand what you mean by the media making vegan expensive.
@@shadowofagod896 Progressive change towards reductions in meat consumption, then vegetarianism followed by Vegan. Most asian countries embraced or started off with agricultural farming with plants based diet. Look no further example than our parents. They ate lots of fruits and vegetables than meat. 3rd World countries give plants based food for developed countries, what an irony 😁.
You're not supposed to record that.
This is absolutely awful. They can do better. But they wont. Because they are greedy and heartless.
Good work. Thank you.
Yes. Thank you. Drones. Microchips. Work. And money withheld. I appreciate this coverage.
What
Please convince our younger generation over this..they will grow up as good persons❤❤❤❤
